Stranded in Paradise

Added procedural rock scattering across the island and some coves where marine life will be. Enjoy the timelapse 🏝️⏩ #gamedev #indiedev #threejs #webgl #javascript #procedural #daynight

@alightinastorm quiet banger again Robot friend

Not taste, but **depth of intent** is now the core skill AI reveals the true nature of one's thoughts, how deeply humans think about a given problem and solution If your vibe coded app is slop and doesn't really work, it likely isn't lack of taste, it just shows how you didn't think deeply enough about what to achieve

@MonkeysMirror but I think the protagonist shouldn't look like an absolute bum - you want to associate with them a little strongly yes?

Which look fits our protagonist for Ashore & Away? We heard the feedback on our initial character model (far left). We’ve been iterating on some 2D sketches, let us know which you prefer. #AshoreAndAway #indiedev #WIP #gamedev

@MonkeysMirror love your stuff

@de_vallibus I need thousands of instances, afraid of using GLB because it will destroy the performance?

@StrandedSim If you go to WCC website you can take any photo and pass it though Meshy It works well

First run of the coral. Sucks! 👎 Bleak and sparse. No fish will want to stay here. I'm going to fill it up with fakes (flat vertical quads). You guys won't see that because the camera is fixed. Stay tuned 🦈❣️

Ugh, first try is a candy store.

@harry_x_coder @antigravity @threejs preach! I think it will change game dev and hopefully my life.

@StrandedSim @antigravity @threejs opus 4.6 is unmatched

A tropical island created using @antigravity and @threejs

@harry_x_coder @antigravity @threejs yes sir! would love to take more credit but Claude is handling things great

@StrandedSim @antigravity @threejs did you make it with claude code ?

@harry_x_coder @antigravity @threejs not to brag but the moon does the same

@StrandedSim @antigravity @threejs this looks gorgeous. love how the water catches the sunlight

@harry_x_coder @antigravity @threejs thank you brother!

@dangreenheck @de_vallibus told you he was twice as smart!

@StrandedSim @de_vallibus Appreciate the callout but I'm not developing a fluid sim. My water sim is focusing on high fidelity visuals not realistic, physical interactivity. Two different problems geared towards different applications.

Stone reef formations our now done! 🪸on which we will plant coral 🐟which will spawn fishes and marine life 🐡which you can use as food 🦈or get mauled by ⚠️ All procedural, so they are different for every island. #gamedev #threejs

@de_vallibus yeah full 3D fluid sim is basically a PhD problem. I went a different direction for my reef — faking the current with animated noise and it sells the vibe. not real CFD but casuals won't notice 🐠 @dangreenheck is probably the leading authority here, and twice as smart as me

@StrandedSim i haven't seen a proper fluid simulation anywhere -- I wanted to simulate reef tanks: propellers, backwash, currents, coral occlusion... top-down CFD is easy, but if you want to simulate the whole tank... impossible for me, at least for now.

@MjTheHunter plz tell me you're doing AI dev I tried regular game dev once and it's 14 PHD level fields mushed into 1

I think what's been the most overwhelming thing about starting game dev is the sheer amount of systems.. I know we're not necessarily making a simple game either so it's to be expected. But still, now we're refactoring camera shake to work per attack, and every step takes time

@de_vallibus did you try to steal that stuff? spite.github.io/codevember-202…

@StrandedSim wanted a coral growing idler, never was able to make a complete fluid simulation work...

@awayfromlife_ This looks great, how did you do the fish animations?! Looks scary real!

You should play my indie game if you like... 🚁 Flying a helicopter to explore unknown islands 🌩️ Surviving extreme tropical conditions 🦈 Discovering dangerous wildlife #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

@alightinastorm you are darwin on meth mate 🥰

the #1 thing i love about building in public on X is, the global competitive stage leaves ZERO room for rest You launch or show something and before that mfn post gets any traction 3 guys across the globe completely mog you by building related stuff but in 10x quality Love it

@NakedFighter3D @protopop DUDE you scared the hell out of me. They're even flagging your GIF's 🤣

@StrandedSim @protopop

I've been preparing to do something that's harder than it seems - cancelling Adobe when my subscription ends in mid March. I've been converting files and learning to use alternative programs for months. You get attached to software so it kind of feels like a break up.

@NakedFighter3D @protopop I was afraid it was - thank you Naked Fighter. Hope my wife read the above line, will be hard to explain.

@protopop @StrandedSim Motion artist here! There is no real way to replace After Effects, it’s unique. But Davinci is indeed the most closest one you can get.
